INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1976 - SECT 54



54.(1) Where an employer

(a)is under section 40(1) of the Act of 1965 (rebates in respect of
redundancy, etc., payments) entitled to any rebate in respect of a payment
made to an employee dismissed by reason of redundancy; and

(b)fails to give notice to the Department in accordance with Article 50 of his
proposal to dismiss that employee,

(2) No reduction of a rebate shall be made in respect of a failure to comply
with Article 50 if proceedings have been instituted for an offence under
Article 55 arising out of the same failure by the employer.

(3) Where the Department reduces a rebate in pursuance of this Article, the
employer may appeal to an industrial tribunal within the period of three
months beginning with the date on which the decision of the Department is
communicated to him or within such further period as the tribunal considers
reasonable in a case where it is satisfied that it was not reasonably
practicable for the appeal to be presented within the period of three months.

(4) Where on an appeal under this Article an industrial tribunal is satisfied
that a rebate which was reduced to any extent should not have been reduced, or
should have been reduced by a greater or lesser proportion, the tribunal shall
determine accordingly, and the Department shall comply with the determination.
